Ethos Collective Blackfire and Exotic Genetix Future SOG and mother flower

[DesertHydro]

hello everyone! just getting underway in the next round and things are rolling fast! we've got ethos collective blackfire(WIFI X afghan) and exotic genetix future(GG4 X starfighter f2) in the works. the moms are healthy and thriving under the LEDs but they are a bit calmag deficient due to the heavy feeding under LED. ive got calmag in the mail and it will be here monday.

the moms will get scrogged and will be flowered under 2 1000w hps in pots of rockwool on drippers. the SOG table is flood and drain with 3x3 cubes, flooded every 4 hours. As always the nutrients will be jacks 321 but i will be adding a few additives this round. Calmag, liquid karma and mammoth p.

the SOG will start under 600w of HPS until i get all my LED stuff built in the next few weeks and then i will transition them over to 1600w of COB LEDs per 4x8. my goal is 1 GPW average. we will see if it happens or not. these are first round from seed so i have no idea what will come out of them but ive got my fingers crossed for keepers. if not they will get extracted and processed lol.

i also have ethos collective citral flo, quattro kush and harambe that just popped as well as mycoteks dog cage which havent broken ground yet. busy times looking for "the one". just waiting on a couple more things to show up, then its go time.

tomorrow i have to build my floor liner and hang my panda film to make my flowering room. need to get furring strips and 2x4s and then im all set.

i also forgot there's a batch 45 freebie from exotic in there as well. dont know anything about it, theyre keeping the info on it secret at the moment. shes short and bushy as hell though and super lush

calmag came in, trim tray came in, my coco mat was back ordered so i have to find it elsewhere. i get my lumber tomorrow and as soon as the panda room is up the table will get going. my pond liner doesnt get here til wednesday so thats when the moms will get flipped. gonna be a busy week!

heres some shots from the harvest last week. CGS Chem D Cookies

 

[DesertHydro]

cant wait for these to get going!

 

[DesertHydro]

here comes the flip!

 

[DesertHydro]

gonna start 12/12 in the veg tent tomorrow. they will stay under the 6500k veg light for a few days until the construction/organization is done in the flowering area. hopefully it will all be done in the next two days. i feel like im get almost nothing accomplished every day. its terrible lol

on a lighter note, the mothers look amazing. they are gonna get FAT.

turns out that blackfire is extremely hard to clone where as future does not give a damn and roots prolifically. gonna end up losing about 30% of the blackfire and about 1-2% of the future. i will try a new rooting solution instead of the powder and experiment with scratching/splitting the stems. more fun experiments to come. the new new genetics and the new new new genetics are off to a great start. they are all looking healthy and growing fast except for a couple stragglers. all is well in veg land(minus the 30% blackfire mortality rate lol). onward and upward!
the center of the pic is of the harambe, quattro kush and citral flo. the little guys on the left that you can barely see are the mycotek dog cage.

side by side of a few days difference on the little guys. they are blowing up quick! my veg tent is getting used as a temporary flower tent while the flower tent is being built. need to move them over tonight and move the little veggers into the veg tent. they are out of room!

gonna defoliate, lollipop and then juice the leaves and get all those wonderful health benefits lol

 

[DesertHydro]

let the madness begin! the big ones are 4-5 days into 12/12. the clones just got put in. im waiting on my LED shit to come in so i can finish the LED arrays and really get things moving.

Thanks man. That helps me keep going and stay motivated. nothing too exciting happening yet but my led shit should be in soon and then it's gonna get crazy over here

 

[DesertHydro]

happy plants and heavy pruning

 

[DesertHydro]

a buddy is helping me build a kief tumbler after i showed him how expensive they are. he cut the rings with his CNC router. we are gonna make a box out of MDF lined with glass panels that will house the drum and motor. it will be wrapped in 150 micron stainless mesh. the project is still in its infancy but i should have it done next week. should hold 4-10 oz of trim at a time. i will experiment with adding dry ice or agitators in the drum with the trim. still need to make a steel door cover with magnets to hold it in place.

 

[DesertHydro]

finally back and this is where we are at!! halfway done! with the 800w of COBs replacing the 1K my heat has dropped 8 degrees!

Awesome thread bro, ill be watching this for sure i can wait to see them, I am about to do a gorilla glue so I'm interested to see how yours goes

 

[DesertHydro]

all of the exotic gear hermied. i was warned on another forum and i didnt wanna believe it but its true! life goes on and the hash pile gets deeper

other than that all is well. the bananas seem to be contained to the lower parts of the plants so i just trimmed them up real well and im hoping for the best lol. hope they arent too virile.

How the harambe doing? I have one seedling..hopefully female.

 

[DesertHydro]

harambe, citral flo and quattro kush in there all looking great

 

[DesertHydro]

just snagged a pack of ocean grown ninja fruit. it will be good to have some color in the garden again!
